The State of Washington Department of Licensing Selects the Universal Imaging Utility to Simplify Systems Management
MILWAUKEE, Wis., Oct. 9, 2007 - Binary Research International (BRI), the authority n cloning and migration since 1997 and part of the company that created the industry leading cloning solution now known as Symantec Ghost, today announced that the State f Washington Department of Licensing has chosen the Universal Imaging Utility (UIU) oftware to simplify their systems management. The Department of Licensing purchased 2,000 UIU licenses to streamline and standardize its systems updates. The UIU, developed by Big Bang LLC, simplifies systems management by reducing the number of Master Image files needed by a company's IT department. IT professionals can now install an Image on disparate hardware platforms in as little as 30 minutes, making it practical to conduct more frequent Imaging. This means application updates and operating system patches, essential to protecting against security incursions, can undergo deployment as often as weekly. "Here at the Department, we started using the UIU back in October of 2005," said Michael Childs, Data Center Facilities Manager, State of Washington Department of Licensing. "Prior to the UIU, updating drivers on existing images just wasn't happening. We had numerous images that were just copies with different drivers to support our current hardware base. The UIU did away with all that. The UIU has enabled the Department to significantly reduce the number of images it needs to maintain, enabling us to better standardize the look and feel of our images for easier on-going support." "We're pleased that the State of Washington Department of Licensing has chosen the Universal Imaging Utility for its systems management needs," said Jim Szopinski, vice president, Binary Research. "The Department understands the value of the UIU not only for day-to-day administrative tasks that can take countless hours away from mission critical objectives, but also to help avoid security breaches and simplify business continuity and disaster recovery planning with an easy-to-implement backup and recovery system." The UIU, introduced in 2004 by Big Bang LLC and distributed exclusively by BRI, provides a solution for those who typically spend an unprofitable amount of company time maintaining, upgrading, cloning and deploying hundreds or thousands of computers within an organization. Designed to work with leading Windows hard drive cloning and data back-up software solutions such as Symantec Ghost, Altiris Migration Suite, Novell ZENworks, Acronis True Image and others, the UIU makes it possible for these programs to create a single hard disk copy or Image that will work with virtually any business-class computer platform and configuration. Deploying this clean Image can be the fastest and best way to clean up computers compromised by viruses, spyware and missing or bad drivers. Licensing for the UIU 3.5 is per-seat and is based on the number of computers receiving an Image that was prepared with the UIU. Pricing starts at $20.14 per-seat for up to 199 computers and goes down to $9.66 for 5,000 or more licenses.
